Häftad bok.
Mycket gott skick. häftad/softback, 364 sidor. Routledge & Kegan Paul (Great Britain, 1985). Ill w b/w photos. The Theatres of the Left discussed in this volume were, in intention at least, activist, perceiving art as a weapon of struggle and enlightenment, and participation and performance as emancipatory acts. Theatres of the Left sees the Workers' Theatre Movement of the 1920's both as an Anglo-American expression of "Proletkult" and as an outcome of a more indigenous tradition, going back to the Band of Hope and temperance dramas of nineteenth-century Nonconformism. The book also reprints a number of crucial texts, some of them for the first time, as well as stage notes and glimpses of the dramaturgical controversies which accompanied them..
